Question

a) True
b) False

Answer 1

The statement in the question is false. Dividing each flock's total pieces of food by 300 and then multiplying the food percentage for each flock by the total number of birds (30) would not result in the same calculation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement in the question is false.

Dividing each flock's total pieces of food by 300 and then multiplying the food percentage for each flock by the total number of birds (30) would not result in the same calculation. It would give different values.

For example, let's say one flock had a total of 500 pieces of food. Dividing 500 by 300 gives a value of approximately 1.67. Multiplying this value by the total number of birds (30), we get approximately 50 birds.
